Moon

I have always wanted to watch Moon and I got a chance to last night. The premise of the movie was very interesting. Sometime in the future, we rely on the Moon's energy to power the Earth. To harvest this energy, Lunar Industries sends up one man for a three year contract to make sure everything goes smoothly. Things start to turn for the worst in the last few weeks leading up to his return.

Most times when there is an intelligent computer in a film, it usually develops a mind of its own and tries to go against the main character. In 2001, Hal ends up locking David out of the spaceship because he overhears that he wants to shut him down. In this film however, Gerty (Kevin Spacey) is a nice robot computer who has genuine feelings for Sam and his wellbeing. I enjoyed Gerty's many faces that made him have more human qualities.

Moon reminded me of another film I've watched, Adaptation where the main character has conversations with himself. I always wondered how they're able to pull that off.

(You'd think that having two of Nic Cage would be a bad thing

and in most cases it is. This is not one of those cases.)
